Chapter 36 The Most Similar People in the World

Luo Pingfeng was the only one left at the scheduled dinner.

"Mr. Luo, can the dishes be served?" the waiter asked nervously.

In fact, it was time to prepare for proofing, and the manager pushed her to ask.

"Mr. Chi, we..."

The waiter at the door politely reminded Chi Tiansheng but was unable to stop him.

"It seems that the second young master of the Luo family hasn't had dinner yet?"

Lian Ye appeared confidently and at ease as "Chi Tiansheng". He gradually got used to confronting Luo Pingfeng and others with this body and identity.

He could use the provocative and sarcastic words that Luo Pingfeng was most familiar with to irritate him easily and with ease.

"Oh, you made a special trip? Why bother? Mr. Lin won't keep the appointment. You don't need to come in person. You already knew it."

After the agreed time and after waiting for Mr. Lin for five minutes, Luo Pingfeng had already guessed the result.

He didn't want to leave and didn't know where to go.

The only places I can go back to are the company and the Luo family. Everywhere is the same, cold and indifferent.

So, he knew that Mr. Lin would not come, but he did not leave.

As agreed with Luo Pingfeng, no one ever dares to be late.

Once the agreed time is passed, even if it is just one minute, the other party will contact you in time to explain the reason for the delay and the estimated arrival time.

Obviously, Mr. Lin was also persuaded by Chi Tiansheng and stood on the side of the Chi family.

No, I just stand on the side with greater interests.

"The bait thrown to General Lin is also for South Bank to get a piece of the pie?"

Luo Pingfeng held the goblet with his slender hand and gently shook the red wine.

Luo Pingfeng always looked calm and composed, as if he had everything under control, but his heart tightened sharply at night.

A wave of inexplicable irritation surged up, and before Lian Ye could react, his right hand had already grabbed Luo Pingfeng's wrist.

"That's right, except for you, no one wants to cooperate with me. Only you always choose to go against me."

Luo Pingfeng lowered his eyes, stared at his grasped wrist, and smiled coldly.

"Going in opposite directions? Quite the opposite, right? You and I have always been walking the same path, a dark and gloomy dead end that leaves no room for anyone else."

Chi Tiansheng and I are so similar and want the same thing, so we are destined to be enemies.

To say "going against the trend" is because he is a person like Shi Mingguang.

Such people always walk in the sunshine and move towards the light.

Luo Pingfeng raised his hand and pushed Chi Tiansheng away, staring at him with disgust.

This look of disgust, like looking at garbage, helped Lian Ye regain his will.

During the days at the Luo family, Luo Pingfeng often looked at me like this, a look of contempt and disgust that could make people look the most humble.

I quickly adjusted my sitting position overnight. I felt like I was possessed by a ghost or a demon. Both my actions and words seemed to be controlled by someone else in an instant, and I lost control.

Thinking back carefully, every time he was alone with Luo Pingfeng, especially when they were in physical contact, his mind would short-circuit and he would become more like another person.

No, it is to become more like the original owner of this body, "Chi Tiansheng".

"That's all in the past, Luo Pingfeng. After a person dies once, they will be completely changed."

This is Lian Ye's statement for himself, and it is a resistance against Luo Pingfeng in Lian Ye's identity.

Maybe "Chi Tiansheng" and Luo Pingfeng are the same type of people. In that case, Lian Ye would go against Luo Pingfeng's ways and take a different path as "Chi Tiansheng".

Luo Pingfeng looked at the person opposite him through the glass. Indeed, Chi Tiansheng, who had saved his life, was subtly different from before.

What is most puzzling is his attitude and actions towards Shi Mingguang.

Why would Chi Tiansheng be interested in someone like Shi Mingguang? What kind of vision is that? Chi Tiansheng doesn't seem like such a boring guy.

"Chi Tiansheng, you're not planning to abandon evil and embrace good, abandon darkness and embrace light, thinking that by being close to Shi Mingguang, you'll become more red, right?"

At the beginning, Luo Pingfeng also suspected that Chi Tiansheng wanted to use Shi Mingguang to retaliate and attack him.

Until the photo was delivered to his desk, in the heavy rain, Chi Tiansheng held an umbrella for Shi Mingguang with a doting look on his face.

People who don’t know the situation might think that these two are filming some idol romance drama.

"I was just wishful thinking, and we didn't get that close. Lawyer Shi didn't want anything to do with me, let alone a friendship."

In Luo Pingfeng's view, Chi Tiansheng, who was eager to distance himself from Shi Mingguang, was like a child who was desperately trying to hide a treasure.

Was Chi Tiansheng like this before? Based on Luo Pingfeng's understanding of him, he was definitely not.

It seems that a person who has a close call with death will indeed undergo tremendous changes.

However, no matter how much her preferences change, she won't fall for someone like Shi Mingguang.

Chi Tiansheng tried his best to protect Shi Mingguang and seemed quite obsessed with him. Luo Pingfeng suspected that Chi Tiansheng's personality and preferences did not change drastically, but that he had been soaking in water for too long and his brain was filled with water.

"Oh, how could I not know about the things you did for Shi Mingguang in private? I'm just curious about your purpose for doing so."

Chi Tiansheng helped Shi Mingguang transfer his clients and their families, and also helped that group of people find jobs and settle them. Luo Pingfeng certainly knew everything about this.

However, Chi Tiansheng has sufficient reasons to do this.

Dealing with and taking revenge on Luo Pingfeng is the most natural goal. After all, a month ago, "Chi Tiansheng" was almost murdered by Luo Pingfeng.

"Haha, I thought the purpose was obvious, or do you just like asking questions even though you already know the answer?"

Lian Ye discovered that when he fought back and provoked Luo Pingfeng, "Chi Tiansheng's" unique playful expression and tone would naturally reveal themselves.

When the character of "Chi Tiansheng" emerges, Lian Ye will lose his mind for a short time and can only "watch the battle" from the side.

During the half hour he was alone with Luo Pingfeng, Lian Ye had switched between "Chi Tiansheng" and himself several times.

Lian Ye was unsure whether it was the "conditioned reflex" or "body memory" that would be produced when this body came into contact with Luo Pingfeng?

Or, in front of Luo Pingfeng, he subconsciously concealed the characteristics of "Lian Ye" and tried hard to play the role of "Chi Tiansheng".

"It's really obvious. You're desperately trying to protect Shi Mingguang, and you're afraid I'll attack him. It's really obvious."

Luo Pingfeng's sharp gaze followed Lian Ye's eyes closely, and Lian Ye unconsciously wanted to escape.

"I just realized that the way I was doing it was wrong, and I wanted to take a happier path."

Before he stood up and escaped from Luo Pingfeng's scrutiny, he couldn't help but retort him.

Once upon a time, he was just a servant kept by the Luo family. His life belonged to the Luo family. He did not dare to imagine happiness, let alone expect to get happiness.

God gave him a chance to live again, and he transformed from a dirty killer living in the dark alleys into the heir of the Chi family.

He has the identity, power, and money to pursue freedom and happiness, but he is not sure when he will wake up from this dream.

When the real "Chi Tiansheng" comes back, he must return everything.

Happiness is being able to see Shi Mingguang again and touch Shi Mingguang again.

I want to hold on to such happy moments even for just a minute or a second, all night long.

"What are you qualified to be happy? What's the point of being happy?"

The wine glass in Luo Pingfeng's hand smashed heavily to the ground, shattering into pieces. His voice did not burst with anger, but was filled with resentment and shock.

Chi Tiansheng actually admitted that he approached Shi Mingguang, helped Shi Mingguang, held an umbrella for Shi Mingguang, and acted as Shi Mingguang's "knight" out of true love.

When did it start? Chi Tiansheng's eyes began to follow Shi Mingguang, but Luo Pingfeng didn't notice. He still wishfully believed that Chi Tiansheng only had eyes for him, his old enemy and competitor.

When he was still ruthless and determined to defeat Chi Tiansheng, Chi Tiansheng actually had some tenderness and love in his heart and planned to "abandon darkness and follow light". Luo Pingfeng felt that he was insulted by his opponent.

“Everyone has the right to be happy. As for the meaning of happiness, only those who have achieved happiness and understand happiness have the right to know.”

The meaning of Lian Ye's words was to mock Luo Pingfeng for not having the right to know the meaning of happiness in this life, and to curse him to never be happy in this life.

However, when Lian Ye uttered this "curse" in his own opinion and with the intention of revenge against Luo Pingfeng, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Did Chi Tiansheng feel bad for Luo Pingfeng? Because they grew up together? Because they had been classmates for decades?

He left quickly at night, and behind him he heard the sound of Luo Pingfeng smashing things.

There may be more than hatred and struggle between "Chi Tiansheng" and Luo Pingfeng, but also some complex emotions that a third person cannot understand.

Luo Pingfeng's questioning and curiosity about "Chi Tiansheng"'s feelings for Shi Mingguang, and his angry and crazy behavior, actually have some shadows of Luo Pingcheng.

This look is not like the usual Luo Pingfeng.

It can be seen that "Chi Tiansheng" is not a simple opponent or rival for Luo Pingfeng, but a more unique and special existence.

Just like, that dark world that belongs to Chi Tiansheng and Luo Pingfeng alone, there are only them.

They were once the most similar people in the world and the opponents that they most wanted to defeat.

And tonight, Luo Pingfeng heard the answer from "Chi Tiansheng" himself.

"Chi Tiansheng" wants to escape from that dark world and pursue someone as pure and dazzling as Shi Mingguang.

For Luo Pingfeng, this is also a betrayal and abandonment.
